Parallel Circuit
In a Parallel Circuit the components are connected in separate branches. This gives the Current lots of paths to travel through. The result of this is if a component in a branch failed, it would only created a gap in one of the paths. Only that branch wouldn't work, the other branches would continue working.
Key Facts:
- Current is different in each branch of the Circuit.
- Total Resistance decreases for components added in parallel.
- The Voltage is the same across all components in parallel.
